I just noticed there's a new Embperl 2.5.0 RC4 and checked how far it
comes with regards to the test suite.

There are still a bunch of hash randomisation issues. I've attached a
patch which fixes all of those I encountered so far by running the
test suite many dozen times. I would expect that you could apply this
patch to your code without changes.

Further I disabled all tests which just check more or less Perl
version specific error messages (i.e. includeerr{2,3}.htm) in our
package build. (But I think that should be solved differently
upstream, if it's an issue for you, too.)

This leaves so far two issues which look like real bugs:

#66 lists.htm fails occassionally and non-deterministically, but it
doesn't seem to be a hash randomisation issue. If it fails, it looks
like this:

#66 lists.htm...
Error in Line 54
Is: ></select></p><
Should: ><optionvalue="B"SELECTED>2</option><
Input: test/html/lists.htm
Output: test/tmp/out.htm
Compared to: test/cmp/lists.htm
Log: test/tmp/test.log
Testparameter:
query_info = sel=2&SEL1=B&SEL3=D&SEL4=cc

And if I check test/tmp/out.htm vs test/cmp/lists.htm, I see

<p><select name="D1" size="1">
<option value="A" >1</option>
</select></p>

but should see

<p><select name="D1" size="1">
<option value="A" >1</option>

<option value="B" SELECTED>2</option>

<option value="C" >3</option>

<option value="D" >4</option>

<option value="E" >5</option>

<option value="F" >6</option>
</select></p>

This does not look like a hash randomisation issue to me and hence may
be a real bug.

If #66 passes, the next one which fails (and always fails) is #147
exit.htm:

#147 exit.htm...
Error in Line 11
Is: After Exit
Should: <EOF>
Input: test/html/exit.htm
Output: test/tmp/out.htm
Compared to: test/cmp/exit.htm
Log: test/tmp/test.log
Testparameter:
cgi = 0

This looks like a real bug as "[- exit -]" seems to have no effect but
should have an effect.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Axel
